a middle aged man claims that after asking a teenager to lower his music he was being taunted and confronted by the teenager and his friends provoking him to shoot. this caused the teenager to die and the shooter is now the one behind bars and is stubbornly claiming that he was only using self defense when the teenager came up to him. the middle aged man, dunn, states that this is absurd saying
“I was the one that was being preyed upon and I fought back. It’s not quite the same but it made me think of like the old TV shows and movies where like how the police used to think when a chick got raped going, 'Oh, it’s her fault because of the way she dressed.' I'm like, 'So it’s my fault (laughing) because I asked them to turn their music down. I got attacked and I fought back because I didn’t want to be a victim and now I'm in trouble. I refused to be a victim and now I'm incarcerated.” however there is no proof of the attack towards dunn nor a gun on the young man.
I think the man over exaggerated both on the music level and the confrontation however the youth now a days is very disrespectful.

I believe that self defense like this isn't called for when someone is "confronting" you.
